Your colleagues could have added your business to BetelLeaf .Also many of BetelLeaf’s listings have been sourced from crawling publicly available information on the internet.
 

Businesses appear at the top of the list due to their ranking first, and alphabetical order second. Ranking is determined by the amount of relevant information contained in your listing. The more information relevant to the search term, the higher your ranking. Relevant information can be contained in:

• business description, including brand information
• web address (URL)
• product and service areas - keywords that you add to your listing
• articles (particularly the headlines) that you add to your listing

The more relevant information you have on your company listing pertaining to a particular search phrase, the more likely you are to appear on the first page of results for that search phrase.

They can be the same address, but you may wish to use two separate addresses. The business email address will be linked from your company listing page, and will be the address at which you will receive any enquiries from potential customers. The administrator’s email address is the address you will use to log in to your account, and may be used by the BetelLeaf team to contact you regarding your company listing.

If we have an email address for the business, there will be a link beneath the contact details that allows you to email them directly. Click on this link to email the company. If there is no link, the company has not provided an email address.

FREE listings only have the facility for one administrator per business. However, if you upgrade your listing to paid “Priority” listing you can enter more than one business under one administrator.

Yes. If you have a "Priority" status listing you can add multiple locations of same business or multiple businesses.

“Priority” listing status will only apply to one listing unless additional subscriptions have been purchased for the other businesses under that administrator.

Use this space to tell prospective customers what you do, where you are located, and which localities you service. Think about what a customer might type into a search engine to find you and make sure you use these phrases. Use your company name as frequently as possible, rather than using ‘we’, as search engines respond to the repetition of phrases.

A description might read: We are a leading supplier of women’s fashion and are located in Brampton, Ontario. We have been serving the area for over 10 years and we look forward to your business.

A better description is: Zoni Fashion is a leading supplier of women’s fashion. Located in Toronto, Zoni Fashion attracts buyers from all over Ontario. Established for over 10 years, we carry a range of labels, including (x), (y), and (z). Zoni Fashion specialises in women’s formal wear, beach wear and swimwear. We also carry a large range of women’s fashion accessories. Zoni Fashion, women’s fashion in Toronto.

Yes, there is a limit of 6 keywords for FREE listings but no limit for “Priority” listings. Relevant keywords will increase your ranking in BetelLeaf and search engines like Google.(see “What makes a good Product and Service Areas keyword” below). To add more keywords simply go to your company listing and login through the “Update Now” button. Click on [Update] next to “My Keywords” to add further keywords.

A Product or Service is a keyword that you believe customers will use when searching for your business products and services online. A Product or Service keyword can be general or specific, but it must relate to the products or service areas of your business. It is in your company's interest to use appropriate and pertinent keywords. The more relevant the keyword, the more likely your listing is to receive positive hits, which will potentially generate business for you.

For example, an engineering company based in Vancouver cannot use the keyword "Vancouver" for two reasons:

• "Vancouver" is not a product or service offered by the engineering company
• People conducting online searches using the keyword ‘Vancouver’ will not be looking for an engineering company

Similarly, a business supplying audio equipment cannot use the keyword 'sales' as:

• The word "sales" does not indicate anything specific to the company s product and service offering
• People conducting online searches using the keyword "sales" alone are not likely to be looking for an audio equipment supplier

A good alternative to the keyword "sales" would be "CDs" or "amplifiers" as these are more representative of the products the business offers.

Simply login through the “Update Now” button on your company listing. Once logged in you can change any details you wish to, or remove your listing by clicking the [Remove Listing] button on the left hand side.

• Check that you have typed your email address correctly.
• If your company listing has an administrator's email that is different to the business email, make sure that you have entered this one.
• Check that you have typed your password correctly.
